Step 3　剖析——长句难句

1．Then the man explained that the child heard nothing strange，and that the shell caught a range of sounds too faint for human ears.(P44，Para.1)

[结构分析] 此句是主从复合句。句中含有两个that引导的宾语从句。

[汉语翻译] 随后男子解释说，孩子听到的声音没有什么奇怪的，只不过是贝壳捕捉到了种种对于人的耳朵来说过于微弱的声音而已。

2．Some truth and beauty remain unnoticed until a sensitive human soul brings them to our attention，just as the shell reflects the unnoticed sounds.(P45，Para.3)

[结构分析] 此句是主从复合句。until引导时间状语从句，as引导方式状语从句。

[汉语翻译] 一些真与美一直被忽视，直到一个敏锐的人类灵魂让它们引起我们的注意，正如贝壳捕捉到了我们未曾注意的声音一样。

3．One who reads it is capable of seeing the beauty that was hidden from his eyes before.(P45，Para.3)

[结构分析] 此句是主从复合句。who引导定语从句，修饰one，在从句中作主语；that引导定语从句，修饰the beauty，在从句中作主语。

[汉语翻译] 读了这句诗的人便能看到以前隐匿在眼前的美。

4．When Christopher Marlowe’s Doctor Faustus asks in the presence of Helen，“Was this the face that launched a thousand ships？” he opens a door through which our imagination enters a new world，a world of love，beauty and heroism.(P45，Para.4)

[结构分析] 此句是主从复合句。when引导时间状语从句；在直接引语中that引导定语从句，修饰the face，在从句中作主语；through which是“介词＋关系代词”引导的定语从句，修饰a door；a world of love，beauty and heroism是a new world的同位语。

[汉语翻译] 克里斯托弗·马洛笔下的浮士德博士当着海伦的面问：“这就是那张让千艘战舰为之起航的面孔吗？”此时他便打开了一扇门，通过这扇门，我们的想象力进入了一个充满爱、美和英雄主义的新世界。

To enter and enjoy this new world of literature，we need to love literature and make an effort 1.to explain(explain) it.Behind every book is a man，behind the man is the race，and behind the race 2.are(be) the natural and social environments.We have now reached a point 3.where we wish to enjoy and understand literature.Let’s look at some of its significant qualities.

The first quality of literature is its 4.description(describe) of truth and beauty.Some truth and beauty remain unnoticed 5.until a sensitive human soul brings them to our attention，just as the shell reflects the unnoticed sounds.The second quality of literature is its appeal 6.to our feelings and imagination.Its attraction lies more in what it awakens in us than what it says.The third quality of literature，7.coming(come) out of the other two，is its permanence.To achieve this，it should contain two elements：8.universal(universe) interest and personal style.Good literature reflects the most basic of human nature—love and hate，joy and sadness，fear and hope.It also 9.takes(take) on a personal style.

In summary，literature is 10.the expression of life in forms of truth and beauty，the written record of man’s thoughts and feelings，and the history of the human soul.
